Next up in our spotlight is Adriana!
1. You served as a Child Advocate through the Guardian ad Litem Program in Greenville, NC. What did you find the most challenging about your role? The most rewarding?
During my role as a GAL, I found that entering unfamiliar environments for the first time could feel both challenging and intimidating. Whether it was homes, schools, or group homes, I often didn’t know what to expect. I learned to step outside of my comfort zone, and take initiative, and I’m grateful for that experience.
2. Before you joined Cooper Ginsberg Gray, you were thinking about pursuing a law degree. Have you changed your mind after working in a family law firm?
Before joining Cooper Ginsberg Gray, I had been going back and forth about whether I wanted to pursue a law degree. Working at CGG has really helped clarify that interest. I recently had the opportunity to shadow Ms. Kugel during a very interesting trial, and seeing how professionally and gracefully she handled the case — along with the strong relationship she had with her client — really reinforced my interest in the legal field. I am excited to continue exploring that path.
3. What do you do on weekends to unwind after a busy work week?
After a busy work week, I like to use my weekends to slow down and recharge—taking time to rest, walk my dog, explore a bit, and really enjoy the moment.
4. What is one thing that your CGG colleagues might be surprised to learn about you?
My colleagues may be surprised to learn that I’m a lifelong Commanders and Hokies fan!
